Since I use ChatGPT regularly, I decided to create my own client. I prefer to avoid third-party services that require privilege escalation like Grammarly and Copilot. I have developed distinct profiles for different tasks, each with its own system prompt and input method. After getting the hang of it, I plan to tweak the parameters as well. Here are some of the profiles:

Explainer: a default, general purpose Q&A. The prompt is "Explain to me like a 3rd grader. Skip prose." I plan to expand this profile to include additional communication styles, including step-by-step explanations, elaboration, and the Socratic method.

Proofreader: I use this profile to edit, simplify, and shorten any text (including this comment). I borrowed this feature from Grammarly Go, and it works by pasting the text and clicking a button.

Developer (in development): this uses a simple editor as input, with features similar to Cody/Copilot, such as adding types, naming things, summarizing, autocomplete, auditing, explaining, fixing, refactoring, and more.

Lastly, I plan to add two more profiles that are more creative and generative: Writer and Designer. They will act as private consultants/partners and assist me in brainstorming and complementing my skills in building websites.
